Good morning! This week marks the spring equinox, which means warmer weather and longer daylight hours! Are you starting to notice the blooming of flowers and the budding of leaves in your backyard, or are you still stuck in winter? Whichever it is, I hope you will enjoy the spring season this year.

For this week, I have rounded up the top posts on Twitter. This week’s list contains teaching and learning strategies such as using the word “yet” to remind students that deep learning takes time, making use of the teacher rubric of Orange Slice, backing up your files with Backup and Sync, building your own website without entering codes using Google Sites, and discovering effective professional development activities. Also, if you regularly use Google Docs and Slides, you should check out the recent updates in the link below.
